“Bavauto” Headers Group Buy Round 4 Feeler List

[Bullet Ride]

**Tubular Automotive has expressed that their manufacturing costs have increased since the last group buy and that they would have to know what type and quantity of each header that they would be making in order to quote pricing. Since I cannot provide pricing this is merely a feeler to get a list going so that I can get Tubular to quote us pricing. Please refer to the last group buy for prices and understand that they will be somewhat more expensive this time around before adding your name to the list. Thanks**

I just want to start out by saying that I do not work for Bavauto or Tubular Automotive and I am in no way affiliated with either of those two companies. I just use “Bavauto” in the title because these are the same headers that Bavauto use to sell, and they are being made by the same company that previously made them for Bavauto. People know them as Bavauto headers so that’s just what I call them.

I also want to point out that this a non-profit venture on my behalf. I choose to run this group buy for free in my spare time in order to make these quality headers more easily and more cheaply available to the BMW community. So please be patient if I don't respond to your PM's immediately, I try my best to answer them the same day they were sent but sometimes things just don't work out that way.

Here are the headers:

Model: 2002
Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 2” integral mid-section



Model: E21 320i 2.0L (early)
Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 2” integral mid-section



Model: E21 320i 1.8L (late)
Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 1 7/8” mid-section with flanged connection



Model: E30 318i (1984-86)
Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 1 7/8” mid-section with flanged connection



Model: E30 325i/325e
Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 2” mid-section
Notes: Having a flange installed on the one mid-section pipe in order to have it bolt up to a stock cat-back exhaust will cost extra because the flange has to be ordered from BMW.



Model: E12 528/530
Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 1 ¾ - 1 5/8 integral mid-section



Model: E28 535, E24 635
Details: 1 ½” primaries, 2” collector into 2” mid-section (4 pieces)
Notes: Headers will fit E28 533 and E24 633 but mid-section will not. These headers are for manual transmission cars only.
Tubular couldn’t find any pictures of this model. However I found these pictures online…

Here's a crazy question that I'm not sure has been asked. Would they make me a set of the E28 535i headers and mid pipes out of stainless?

I asked a couple years ago and they said that they've never bent stainless because the tooling is expensive and the cost of the raw material is a lot more. essentially the price of the headers would at least triple. Unless you're buying from China, getting a mild steel header ceramic coated has always been the best bang for the buck.

Took that spot.

[Bullet Ride]

By the end of the week it will have been a month. I'll take whatever numbers I've got at that point and look into pricing for everyone.

Is it possible to send them in Europe..?
